Criterion has announced the release in September of a special edition loaded with extras of 1964's b-movie favorite ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. I hope there's a commentary by Mona the Woolly Monkey.

I've enjoyed many of Criterion's "legit" releases, but I'm constantly impressed by their taste in b-movies, releasing the likes of THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, FIEND WITHOUT A FACE, CARNIVAL OF SOULS, THE NAKED KISS, THE BLOB, EQUINOX, THE ATOMIC SUBMARINE, etc.

Shadowwww.bmoviegraveyard.comThe FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

They used to show this on TV about once every two months on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid back in the early 1970s. I watched it over and over again. Then I saw part of it on TV about 10 years ago and couldn't believe how bad Paul Mantee's acting was. Can't wait for the DVD.

Criterion has phenomenal taste! Out of 400+ titles, I can only think of a handful I did not care for (namely Armageddon). But the release of Robinson Crusoe On Mars is great news! I haven't been this excited since Sweet Movie was announced!
